AI Cough-Monitoring Can Change the Way We Diagnose Disease

How many times do you cough a day? Do you cough more when you're indoors or outside? Or more often after you eat? Chances are, your cough memory might not be that accurate. But all of that information about your coughing patterns could be an untapped resource to better understand your health. Coughs may be benign ways to clear a little extra phlegm, or they could be early signs of more serious conditions such as asthma, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), or even lung cancer.
